2. Eating early:
Don’t sleep as soon as you eat. Give it at least 2 hours before your slumber. If you take naps, try sleeping in a chair. Lying down with a full stomach can cause stomach contents to press harder against the LES, increasing the chances of refluxed food. Also try avoiding late night snacks.

3. Avoid foods trigger heartburn:
Check for foods that can lead to heartburn and make them a serious no, no. always make healthy choices in terms of food. Your health is far more important than the most delicious cheese stake in the world.

4. Sleep on your left:
Research suggest that sleeping on your left side position aids digestion and helps with the removal of stomach acid. So switch your position if you are sleeping otherwise.

5. Wear loose-fitting clothing:
